How do consumers make a decision with these complicated choices?
Where do they turn to get factual information?

To help consumers make informed choices regarding hospitals, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed an instrument to measure patient perceptions of care. Learn More!

This week marks the start of the new Comfort Cart program at Nason Hospital.

Each day, Monday through Friday, a volunteer will take the Comfort Cart to the inpatient rooms and deliver items that will hopefully make each patient's stay more comfortable.

All items are free and the Comfort Cart is sponsored by the Nason Hospital Auxiliary. Items on the Comfort Cart include: local newspapers, magazines, books, devotional items, puzzle books, pens and pencils, writing paper, sleep masks, combs and brushes, and other personal care items. There will also be prayer shawls and baby hats knitted and crocheted by local volunteers.

Donations for the Comfort Cart will be accepted by the Auxiliary at the Nason Hospital Gift Shop.

Nason is a certified Pink Ribbon Facility, a distinction awarded only to an elite group of healthcare facilities. By offering women digital mammograms, the facility hopes to increase the number of area women who follow recommendations for regular screenings.

Nason Hospital is committed to the fight against breast cancer.
In offering digital mammography, Nason provides the latest in imaging quality.

Nason Auxiliary recently donated 112 smoke detectors with batteries to Nason Home Health to be distributed to Home Health patients in need of a smoke detector.

The donation was funded through the Nason Auxiliary Light-A-Light tree that sits in the Nason Hospital lobby in the month of December. Staff, visitors, and community members can put an ornament on the tree in memory or honor of an individual for a small fee. The smoke detectors were purchased at a reduced cost through the Roaring Spring Department Store.

Pictured receiving the smoke detectors is Krista Hillegas, Nason Home Health nurse, from Judy Reffner, President of the Nason Auxiliary.
